New PG-OT framework improves text-to-image alignment and reduces reward hacking

Researchers have developed a new framework called Pareto Frontier-Guided Optimal Transport (PG-OT) to improve text-to-image generation models. This method addresses the challenge of aligning models across multiple, potentially conflicting, reward signals and mitigates "reward hacking," where model performance metrics improve while perceived quality declines. PG-OT constructs a prompt-specific Pareto frontier and uses optimal transport to guide dominated samples toward it, outperforming existing methods and achieving a high win rate in human evaluations.

    Pareto-Guided Optimal Transport for Multi-Reward Alignment

    Text-to-image generation models have achieved remarkable progress in preference optimization, yet achieving robust alignment across diverse reward models remains a significant challenge. Existing multi-reward fusion approaches rely on weighted summation, which is costly to tune a…
